From the magnificent musical opening over
breathtaking African vistas to its rip-roaring
emotionally charged climax," Lion King" reigns
supreme as animation's greatest crowning achievement. So he enlists the aid of three wicked
hyenas and plots to kill not only Simba's father, but
Simba himself.
If Scar's plans succeed, all the
animals will suffer. But can little Simba do anything to
stop his big, bad uncle?
Wild Africa is the setting for this
animated tale of a young lion cub whose evil uncle
usurps his father's crown and lets hyenas overrun the
kingdom. Dodging danger and befriending some oddball
characters, the cub wanders until the day he's ready to
return. Songs by Elton John and featuring the voices of
Whoopie Goldberg, Cheech Marin, James Earl Jones,
Matthew Broderick, Nathan Lane and Jeremy Irons. Academy
Award Nominations: 4, including 3 for Best Original
Song. Academy Awards: 2, including Best Original Score
and Best Original Song (Elton John and Tim Rice:
"Can You Feel the Love Tonight").
THE LION KING is the 32nd full-length
animated feature from Walt Disney Pictures.
In 1995, "The Lion King" was the top-selling
video, surpassing "Aladdin," "Snow
White," and "Beauty and the Beast." It
actually sold 20 million copies in the first six days of
its release!!
